Mass spectrometry techniques can be used to profile post-translationally modified (PTM) peptides in a digested sample. However, PTM peptides are often present at very low abundance, which is a challenge when trying to study them using mass spectrometry techniques.

To address this challenge Cell Signaling Technology (CST™) has developed PTMScan® technology, a proprietary proteomic method that combines antibody enrichment of PTM-containing peptides with liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). PTMScan technology allows identification and quantification of hundreds to thousands of even the lowest abundance peptides, and provides a more focused approach to peptide enrichment than other strategies (for example IMAC).
